DVBE DECLARATION INSTRUCTIONS

General Instructions

In this form, (i) “DGS” refers to the Department of General Services; (ii) “Bidder” refers to a person or entity that submits a response to a competitive solicitation issued by the Court, including both IFBs and RFPs; and (iii) “bid” refers to a response to a competitive solicitation issued by the Court, including both IFBs and RFPs.

If Bidder wishes to claim the DVBE incentive in a solicitation where a DVBE incentive is offered, it must submit a DVBE Declaration completed by each DVBE that will provide goods and/or services in connection with its bid. If Bidder is itself a DVBE, it must complete the DVBE Declaration itself. If Bidder will use one or more DVBE subcontractors, each DVBE subcontractor must complete a DVBE Declaration.

If no DVBE incentive is offered, or Bidder does not wish to claim the DVBE incentive, Bidder should not submit a DVBE Declaration. In addition, if Bidder wishes to claim the DVBE incentive using a DVBE Business Utilization Plan (BUP) on file with DGS, Bidder should not submit a DVBE Declaration. Note that a BUP cannot be used to qualify for the DVBE incentive in a non-IT services solicitation.

The Court will determine whether Bidder is eligible to receive the DVBE incentive based on information provided in the DVBE Declaration. The Court may, but is not obligated to, verify or seek clarification of any information set forth in the DVBE Declaration. If Bidder submits incomplete or inaccurate information, it will not receive the DVBE incentive.
